So have the old stud and nut been replaced by copper with torx head?

In any case I have asked andyc to give me a price and i will have him send me some! :y
The originals will not be copper and will not have a torx head. Vauxhall superceeded them with the copper type because it does not expand as much when subjected to heat (or so i'm told) and the torx head just helps when tightening up.

Interesting-mine had identical torx head bolts to take out-3 were snapped off.  Guessing it had been a problem before and these were not the factory ones then?
I would assume so since my originals were not copper and did not have a torx head.

Interestingly I got andyc to send me a set and I have received proper studs and nuts. The nuts are copper though but the studs are not.

Assume there must be two types? :-?
